How little do you have to do to firm up, lose fat, strengthen bones, improve mood, and boost energy? Renowned New York fitness trainer Pete Cerqua's answer is 15 minutes of exercise a week.
Pete's revolutionary strength-training plan includes only the most efficient exercises, which each last 90 seconds but powerfully accelerate your metabolism. By doing these exercises while following his sensible yet simple eating approach and lifestyle advice, you will become stronger and leaner. And this will happen quickly -- so fast that you will shrink your body by a full dress size in just eight weeks.
The power of this remarkable program is its simplicity. You can exercise at home without changing into workout clothes. You eat well without counting calories or carbs, and don't even need a complicated grocery list. You don't have to spend a fortune on equipment, gym memberships, supplements, and meal replacement products.
Pete has created a truly manageable program for the busiest of women. Complete with more than thirty delicious yet quick-and-easy recipes and backed by dozens of testimonials and hundreds of medical studies, Pete's program is proven to work. The results are dramatic and all the more satisfying because they last.
Skeptical? Many of Pete's clients were, too. Then they tried it, and their bodies got tighter and smaller. Their bones got stronger. They slept more deeply, handled stress better, and felt the best they had in years. Then they told fifty friends about Pete. He made believers out of them, and he'll make one out of you, too.

Awesome exercise method. As I did the wall sit, I could feel the burn in my thighs big time. I love that my exercises are done so fast, and yet, I've done a lot more than 40 minutes of cardio. Great book!

I'm sorry, but I am not skinny and am a busy person. How ****** lazy you have to be just to spend 90 second? Not even 2 minutes, 90 seconds. Reading things like - "Oh I do not want to sweat" news flash, sweating is good, and you do it aware you are of it or not, and it is very natural, just do not forget to shower. Also, if you have time to read this.... I will restrain myself from calling it anything but misleading book... then you have time to get your behind working out. Since we also have time to read, and actually do the homework, we will know : average person needs work out EVERYDAY, this does not include house work.
Workout - A session of exercise or practice to improve fitness, as for athletic competition.
Meaning you have to start at a specific time and end it at specific time, so that your muscles do not cool off. Did I mention that even 30 minutes is not enough? So 90 seconds might ONLY warm up the muscles, with pretty nice warm-up provided in the book, but nothing else.
So instead of spending money on this book, might as well add few bucks and buy yoga mat and do Pilates or step-board and dance on it.

It seems the author made his personal trainer career a success by simplifying healthy living into just a few easy to remember tips. Great. So why is this book over a hundred pages long? Thankfully each chapter has a "speed reader synopsis". Go ahead and give this book a five minute read and then go do what you know you should: eat food free of additives, lower your stress, exercise slowly and intensely.

Not much new information. The just is you can do about 5-10 exercises at 90 seconds each a few times a week and eat a clean (unprocessed) diet and be strong, healthy and lean. Personally, I enjoy exercising in a group setting with cardio and strength. However, if you are short on time this might be for you.

Well... I guess, if you don't exercise at all, then it's better than nothing (and if you don't have high blood pressure — exercises are static). Otherwise, you probably won't gain anything.
The sales pitch of the book is awful.

I don't buy all of the information in this book. Not sure it was worth the read, as most of the information is stuff I already knew.
